Thanks! Your autotrans at least has slightly taller gearing than the EX manual, though (IIRC).

And here are a few more tweaks to existing mods. First is the redo of my upper grill block using some aluminum flashing I had laying around from a fireplace project. Then, second, is a series of pics for the wheel well skirts. The only change is the addition to which are two more clips to each skirt to hold them more snugly against the car. I made the clips from small aluminum mint boxes I had saved to reuse for something.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
